Everybody knows that the economy in Canada is a commodity-based one and not as much shaking as the American consumer based economy. On America’s stock markets are 181 companies with headquarters in Canada. Sixty-six of these companies pay dividends but not all of them are already cheap.

However, I’ve tried to screen the market by the cheapest Canada stocks with a listing in America. All stocks should have a current P/E ratio of less than 15, a P/S ratio of under two and a positive dividend yield. Exactly 12 companies fulfilled these criteria of which 2 are high yields. Six are recommended to buy.

Here are my favorite stocks:
